Chapter 214 Returning Home
Chapter 214 Returning Home
After the civil and military war ended, the game indicated that the first war of national destiny had come to an end, and the next war of national destiny would begin fifty years later.
"This game came about so hastily, and it seems to be leaving just as hastily!" Lin Liuyi commented.
"It might be that the program has reached its limit, or it might be out of energy," the system guessed.
But no matter what, Lele is able to go back.
The winning nation in the entire game not only transformed its barren desert into mines, but also upgraded its living environment, not to mention the rewarded library and weapons museum.
After seeing Lele successfully reunite with her parents, everyone in the group breathed a sigh of relief.
"I wish my baby could be as cute as Lele in the future," Liu Mingyue sighed.
"Liu Mei'er, you're pregnant!" Everyone exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, it was just found out recently." Liu Mingyue smiled happily and gently stroked her belly.
To be honest, she only found out she was pregnant yesterday because she was so angry that she fainted.
Yesterday, she heard the news of her husband's return while she was at home, and she hurriedly ran out.
Even though the two had a fight, she still cared about him.
As a result, just as she reached the door, she saw that her husband had indeed brought the little fish home.
Liu Mingyue fainted from anger. When she woke up, she realized that she was three months pregnant. Counting the days, she was pregnant just before Jiang Heng disappeared.
"Madam!" Jiang Heng said worriedly, holding her hand.
"Why are you calling me? Don't you already have Xiaoyu?" Liu Mingyue pulled her hand away from Jiang Heng's.
"Mingyue, didn't I tell you? I don't like Xiaoyu. I only like you!" Jiang Heng explained anxiously.
"You don't like her, yet you still bring her back to the mansion!" Liu Mingyue felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke. She had come all the way here to marry him, to manage the household for him, and to bear his children, only to be rewarded with him bringing another woman back to the mansion.
"Mingyue, let me explain!" Jiang Heng rushed over to comfort Liu Mingyue when he saw that she was crying.
"Then explain!" Liu Mingyue wiped away her tears; she wanted to hear Jiang Heng's excuses.
Jiang Heng didn't expect Liu Mingyue to calm down so quickly, but since he had a chance to explain, he quickly did.
When Jiang Heng was injured, he was rescued by Xiao Yu. Later, he discovered that her hunter father seemed to have connections with the Tartars, so he took the opportunity to stay at her house.
When Liu Mingyue came looking for him, he was unwilling to leave, and the two parted on bad terms. Xiaoyu's hunter father also noticed something.
He confessed that he had been captured by the Tartars while hunting, and they used this to threaten him into informing them of his whereabouts.
The hunter's father didn't want to be a traitor, but he also wanted to save his life, so he kept in touch with the Tartars for a while, while trying to find a way to notify the border troops.
Just then, Jiang Heng arrived. The hunter could tell that Jiang Heng was no ordinary person, but since he was still injured, the hunter hesitated to do anything. So he slowly revealed some flaws to lure Jiang Heng into the trap.
With Liu Mingyue's search and Jiang Heng's injuries having healed, the hunter's father guessed Jiang Heng's identity and revealed it to the authorities.
Jiang Heng then devised a plan with the hunter and captured the Tartars.
During the fight, the hunter father was seriously injured and wanted to entrust his daughter, Xiaoyu, to Jiang Heng.
"No, I don't like Xiaoyu! I can't accept this request!" Jiang Heng refused decisively.
Now it was the hunter's father's turn to panic. He was working so hard because he valued Jiang Heng's status and wanted to secure a future for his daughter!
Although his daughter wasn't a stunning beauty, she was still a lovely girl from a modest family. Why was Jiang Heng still unhappy about it?
The hunter's father said anxiously, "General, although my daughter is not very educated, she is kind-hearted. She will definitely serve the lady and the general well!"
Jiang Heng frowned: "I don't need anyone to serve me. If Madam needs someone to serve her, she will find someone herself."
The hunter's father was about to say something when Jiang Heng interrupted him: "No need to say more, I remember your merits. You won't die anytime soon from this injury. Xiaoyu is your daughter. If you want to find her a good family, I can ask my wife for help when we get back. But if you want her to come into my household, that's absolutely out of the question."
After saying this, he ordered his men to carry the hunter and take the little fish back with them.
After all, the two of them were his saviors. However, it was absolutely impossible for him to take Xiaoyu as his concubine. Mingyue was so worried about him that she even came out to look for him. If he were to bring a woman back with him, wouldn't that break her heart?
"If that's the case, then why did you still bring her back to the manor?" After hearing the explanation, Liu Mingyue was no longer so angry.
"I figured she did save my life, so I'd bring her back to the manor as a guest, and also ask my mother to find her a good husband. Doesn't her father have his eye on that?"
"You really don't want to take her into your household?"
"Of course not. I don't have those feelings for her. I only see her as a younger sister. I remember what you said when I proposed to you: 'One life, one love.'" Jiang Heng took Liu Mingyue's hand again.
This time, Liu Mingyue didn't pull away. "Then how about we don't let her stay in the manor?"
Jiang Heng looked at Liu Mingyue and said gently, "I'll do whatever you want, Mingyue. Now you should believe me, right?"
Liu Mingyue snorted, "I'll believe you for now."
Since Xiaoyu was still there, Liu Mingyue stopped lying in bed and got up to entertain her.
Although Jiang Heng no longer had this intention, she had to see if Xiao Yu did.
Liu Mingyue arrived at the front hall and saw Xiaoyu sitting there obediently.
When Xiaoyu saw her arrive, she quickly stood up and bowed, "Madam."
Liu Mingyue glanced at her, thinking to herself that although the girl seemed innocent and harmless, she still had to be wary.
So she smiled and said, "Miss Yu, you're too kind. I haven't thanked you for saving my husband yet. These things are just a token of my appreciation."
Xiaoyu quickly refused, as this mansion was so different from her home.
"Take this, it's a gift from your wife. Take it back and live a good life with your father." Jiang Heng stuffed the gift into Xiaoyu's arms.
Xiao Yu was taken aback, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes. "Thank you, Madam!"
When she arrived, her father said that Brother Jiang held a high position, which was not something ordinary people like them could aspire to.
Her father had inquired and learned that if she became someone's concubine, her life and death would no longer be in her own hands. If she encountered a bad mistress, the concubine might be mistreated.
Besides, Brother Jiang doesn't like her, so she might as well live a quiet life. Her father said that since she had done a good job this time, Brother Jiang would definitely reward her, and then he would let her find someone close to home so that her father could continue to take care of her.
Xiaoyu stopped thinking about it. She knew she was not good enough for Brother Jiang. She was already trembling with fear when she entered this mansion, let alone living here.
After observing Xiaoyu for a while, Liu Mingyue felt relieved, as she didn't think Xiaoyu was deeply in love with Jiang Heng.
